Zuckerberg says people without AI glasses will be at a disadvantage in the future
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has reiterated his stance that AI-powered glasses are poised to revolutionize how humans interact with artificial intelligence, warning that those who don’t adopt this technology will be left behind. During the company’s second-quarter earnings call, Zuckerberg emphasized the importance of augmented reality (AR) and AI-infused eyewear in shaping the future of human-computer interaction.
“I continue to think that glasses are basically going to be the ideal form factor for AI, because you can let an AI see what you see throughout the day, hear what you hear, [and] talk to you,” Zuckerberg emphasized during the call. “I think in the future, if you don’t have glasses that have AI — or some way to interact with AI — I think you’re… probably [going to] be at a pretty significant cognitive disadvantage compared to other people.”
Zuckerberg’s sentiments echo his previous remarks on the subject of AI and its potential impact on society. The CEO has long been an advocate for merging technology with our everyday lives, pushing the boundaries of what is possible through innovative AR experiences.
In light of these developments, it remains to be seen whether Zuckerberg’s vision of a world where AI glasses become ubiquitous will come to pass. While some have questioned the necessity and practicality of such devices, others see this as an inevitable step in the evolution of human-machine interaction.
As Reality Labs continues to invest heavily in the development of AR and AI technologies, it is clear that Meta remains committed to the concept of making AI-infused eyewear a reality. The company’s recent financial reports have shown significant revenue growth from its AI glasses offerings, with the Ray-Ban Metas more than tripling year-over-year.
In light of this news, it will be interesting to see how these technologies continue to evolve and whether they truly hold the key to unlocking a future where those without such devices are left behind.
